From what I have heard and read so far Obama is actually further left than Hillery.;.....IF that is the cae then to me she is the lesser of two evils

Gore picked the wrong election to sit out.

I heard on the Rush Limbaugh show that a professor from Michigan who is Republican is going to vote Democrat for the Primary and will vote for Hillary just to throw the vote away from Obama. Not a bad idea. He is on his own radio show in Michigan and has great influence over many. So this may be a trend. Then in November he will switch back and vote Mc Cain in office.

As far as your question, I know that Hillary is the lessor or the 2 evils. IMHO

I have always said that I could not stand the thought of Hilary as president but I think Obama would be worse.

Oh, that's mature. Why don't all the Republicans mess with the Dem primaries, and get Peewee Herman nominated? That'll show 'em.

Timmy, Dems do it too. McCain won several states in 2000 because Dems crossed over and voted for him.

Rush Limbaugh has been doing it for a while now. Its called Operation Chaos. It seems to be really having an effect too. After winning big on Super Tuesday, Obama should have wrapped up this nomination a long time ago. I think crossover Republicans voting for Hillary has helped her hang in there and prolong the fight. (Of course this Jeremiah Wright dude probably had a little something to do with it too. )

Oh, I'm sure you're right! Dirty tricks abound, on both sides. I hate politics.

The reality is most people won't even get out of bed to vote for the candidate they want. If they have to switch parties (as they do in some states) in order to vote in the primary, I doubt they really sway the vote that much. The polls have been pretty consistent in their point spreads, so the Republicans haven't screwed up the Democratic primary too much. The reality is Obama can't seem to win in states that do not have a high concentration of black voters. So Hillary wins states like Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc.
